Low Cost Tactics

[Poopsi]

Speaking of singlehandedly taking out light PD, earth and air elementals are great ways for modestly powered mages to turn raider. Air elementals will take out light PD from unprepared neighbors when you cloud trapeze in to unexpected locations, while a pair of earth elementals (any E2 mage can get two after summoning earth power) will take out fairly heavy PD from many nations

I think that Pythian doom popes are excellent PD destroyers, if set to spam soul slay. Leaders tend to get targeted first, which can cause massive routs.
